Title: Limit to active connections on Bitcoin-Qt
Post by: pteranodon on June 23, 2013, 10:14:00 PM
Is there a limit to the reported active connections for the client? I can get no more than 30 (currently at 25).
I suppose it doesn't really matter it's just a matter of curiosity.
FYI: I have UPnP enabled

Thanks for any replies

by default, it's 125 connections. Your client will make 8 outgoing connections and accept up to (125-8) incoming connections. Those take a while to accumulate, so you need to leave your computer on for a while.

It would be nice to see the number of incoming as well. It normally just shows "8".

just assume incoming is (total - 8).

Thank you all for answering.

It's just that I never saw more than 30 up till now. I just hit 30 so lets hope it grows.

Thank you all so much
